    In the mountains of Cangyuan, Yunnan, the Wa people inherit their culture through the millennium-old brocade-weaving technique. As a "living historical record" of the Wa people, Cangyuan brocade, with black and red as its base colors and decorated with geometric patterns, conveys the ancestors' reverence for nature and praise for life. Its colors not only carry on the Wa's traditional color system but also form distinct regional characteristics due to geographical and historical factors; each color bears primitive beliefs and has a strong visual impact. Currently, academic research on it mostly focuses on its patterns and craftsmanship, while the aesthetic logic and cultural connotations behind its colors remain to be explored. Combining field investigations with aesthetic theories, this paper analyzes the symbolic system, composition rules and modern aesthetic value of its colors, and explores the visual code of this ethnic art.

    The process by which children depict nature is a wonderful journey from perceptual awareness to artistic expression. This paper aims to explore how children transform the color elements in nature into unique artistic languages based on their cognitive development patterns. By applying children's cognitive psychology, a three-level cognitive model of "sensory reception - thinking processing - memory internalization" is constructed to systematically analyze the complete transformation path from the perception of natural color symbols to the formation of painting languages. The research shows that at the sensory level, children obtain natural symbols through visual, tactile and other sensory channels; at the thinking level, they organize and attribute meanings to the perceived materials by using strategies such as generalization and logic; at the memory level, through the repeated processes of the previous two levels, they construct and form stable painting schemas. The study reveals the intrinsic connection between children's painting expression and cognitive development, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for children's aesthetic education based on cognitive laws.

    This study transcends the linear diffusion paradigm in enamel color studies by unveiling a polycentric interactive network of Eurasian enamel technologies from the 13th to 18th centuries. Through a tripartite analytical framework integrating technical experimentation, chemical data, and archival documentation, we identify three technological iterations in Chinese enamel development: foundational glaze formulations in the Yuan Dynasty, establishment of cobalt-blue and warm-tone systems in the Ming Dynasty, and gold-pink innovation during the Qing Dynasty. Key findings reveal Persian technological influences in Yuan-Ming glaze materials, while Qing gold-pink enamels synthesized European arsenic reduction techniques with indigenous formulations. This evolutionary process constitutes a transcontinental translation of chromatic technologies across civilizations, subverting the "core-periphery" narrative. Our research substantiates the hypothesis of Yuan Dynasty origins for Chinese enamel arts and illuminates the techno-collaborative mechanisms underlying the formation of global chromatic languages.

    Based on the dichromatic visual characteristics of dogs, this study established a color design system for dining spaces centered on the '3C Principle' (Color Contrast Optimization, Standard Color Coding, Dynamic Hue Regulation). The research indicates that dogs are particularly sensitive to blue and yellow tones, so their visual perception should be fully considered in spatial color design. In practice at 'Huniu Farm', color coding was applied with a coral orange feeding area, sky-blue drinking area, dark blue toilet area, and gray-blue resting area to effectively guide pet behavior and improve space utilization. This design approach not only enhances dogs' eating enthusiasm and spatial orientation abilities but also creates a comfortable dining environment for users, providing both theoretical and practical support for human-pet cohabitation space design.
